Jedi Sydney
Happy Birthday Sydney Michelle! She turns 8 today. (my grandma would say she isn’t really 8 until 5:52pm, but I will let it slide)
We celebrated with a Star Wars party yesterday and a few friends. I tried buying her out of a party, because I just didn’t have it in me to do a party, but the kid won out. She got her party, a party that we threw together in 6 days.
As I have stated before, my kids LOVE Star Wars, so that is, of course, the type of party she wanted. I turned to Pinterest for a few ideas, but there isn’t much out there for a girl and Star Wars.
We had a wonderful guy from church who volunteered to come and be a Jedi Master and train them in the way of the force.
Kurt had worked so hard the night before on making light sabers out of PVC and foam that covers pipe. They worked out to cost around $1 each.
I made some fun food items. The cake is Obi-One and Anakin fighting in the lava when Anakin turns to Darth Vader..
Hans Solo in some jello (you know where Jabba has him held)
Some healthier snacks
And some Wookie Cookies ( I found these at Williams-Sonoma…)
Yoda-Soda
And what MADE the party was the decorations, at least this Yoda. A friend of Kurt’s mentioned he had one, so we borrowed it. The kids all had their picture taken with him. Roxanne had found Kurt’s old Star Wars figures and we used those as well.
Jedi Training Academy- They had to race, practice knocking bubbles out of the force, and they had to destroy VADER!!!
They decorated their own wookie cookie, played musical chairs, and had an asteroid hunt.
Posed with Yoda…
Had cake
Opened gifts
These are 2 of my favorite Padawans. Looking at these pictures I kept thinking “Man! They look a lot alike!”
And had a great time!
